HA! I wore my hr monitor all day today just to see how many calories I burned while at work. So far, at 6:00 PM, I've burned 1320 in just over 12 hours. I have eaten just over 1100 calories so far today. So I should be losing weight, right? LOL
Here's what I've had so far...
Breakfast
1/2 c (cooked) oatmeal
1/2 c low fat (1%) cottage cheese
1 extra large hard boiled egg
Snack
1 artichoke
Lunch
1 Multigrain sandwich thin
2 oz virginia ham
1 oz swiss
1 tbsp light mayo
1/2 c chopped tomato
1/2 c chopped cucumber
1 tsp vinegar
Snack
4 tbsp hummus
1 red bell pepper
Designer Whey shake
3/4 c milk
Dinner
3 oz pork loin
1 c asparagus
1/2 c brown rice
Guess I'll throw a banana in with my strawberry smoothie later. I need more carbs...
I'll do NROL4W1A WO 7 & possible jump rope for 15 minutes tonight. I'm almost done & ready to move on to Stage 2. I'm VERY excited.
Wendy--hope this comes through. My blog is doing weird stuff--not showing this post in my list of posts unless I click view all...
Anyway...
Like Marie, I'd love to hear about the nutrition program you've got if you have time to blog about it...
Also, question to those of you that have read NROL4W...I am enjoying the workouts but I'm not sure the program is "working for me." I've actually gotten bigger in my waist doing this workout--after a month in. So I'm wondering--do I keep plugging away at it or is there something else I could be doing to get better results? You know I've been lifting heavy so...thoughts???
Came back to add: I DID 95 LB SQUATS!!!! 55 LB STEP UPS!!! I have never, ever, ever been this strong. And I finished the night off with 4 - 1min/2min intervals of jump rope. It is 72 degrees in my house & I'm dripping sweat!!!
Now for that shake.

Diet looks great, and your workout rocked! 95 lb squats and 55 lb stepups are awesome.
As for whether the program is "working" or not: are your clothes getting looser? Are your arms and legs looking firmer? Can you feel a wall of muscle under the extra fluff around your midsection? If so, I'd say the program IS working, but slowly. As you move through it the workouts will become more intense, the HIIT will become longer and more frequent, and the weight will come off faster.
OTOH, if the *only* changes you're noticing are undesirable ones, I would recommend maybe increasing your cardio. Keep doing the HIIT as per the program, but supplement with some lower intensity sessions that'll allow you to burn extra calories without interfering with your recovery. Also, try to be as active as you can during the day--take the stairs instead of the elevator, park in the farthest spot instead of the closest, go for a walk after dinner instead of settling in to watch TV, yadda yadda yadda.
